The undersigned is directed to say that in the 36^th Ordinary meeting of the National Council (JCM), Staff Side had raised a demand that norms for sanctioning of posts in various grades may be fixed in consultation with the Staff Side (JCM), existing norms being arbitrary. It was also suggested that staff Unions should be consulted in the matter of implementing SIU reports. In the National Council (JCM) it was agreed that the report of the SIU will be placed before the respective Departmental Councils. However the Councils will not put any impediment in its implementation.

    The above decision is being brought to the notice of all concerned for compliance.
